Thank you for visiting my website today. I welcome you into my virtual home, into my online kitchen, and into my very grateful heart. I deeply appreciate each and everyone of you and thank you for your kind support in this culinary adventure.
My food philosophy is pretty simple – Life is to be savored so savor every meal!
Since life is so short and can end in an instant or take unexpected twists and turns I want to squeeze every ounce of joy I possibly can out of it. Eating is one of the great pleasures of life. Therefore I want every thing I eat to be an explosion of flavor and have multitude of textures that causes my taste buds to dance with delight.
I also believe that supplying my body with the nutrients it needs is essential to a long and healthy life. Thankfully, I have discovered that I do not have to choose between a healthy body and happy taste buds. I just carefully choose the foods I eat and make sure that I never sacrifice flavor over nutrition … or calories.
I have made over many of my favorite high calorie foods and transformed them into figure friendly foods that I can thoroughly enjoy guilt free. These guilt free recipes have allowed me to lose 30 pounds and continue dropping weight over holidays, special occasions, and birthdays in spite of the increase in opportunity to over indulge and gain weight while surrounded by extra temptations.
The other benefit of eating flavorful - soul satisfying foods is that I find I actually eat less because I am enjoying it more and I know that no food I truly want is off limits.
After spending more than 30 years keeping all of my family's favorite recipes electronically I had planned on printing two self published copies for my daughters Tiffani and Stefanie to take with them as they leave their childhood home and begin their adult life. While assembling the recipes for printing my daughters asked if I could also write down all of my secrets too. They feared that should something happen to me they could not begin to remember all of the things I do to make meal time, holidays, and birthdays special even when things start to go wrong. Soon others became interested in what I was doing and My Mother's Secrets began to spring to life.
I hope you will try some of my recipes or let me know if you ever need a bit of help or inspiration to jump start your culinary journey. Cooking something you love for someone you love nourishes the spirit, soothes the soul, and cleanses the heart in ways that will transform you and those you love.
My mother's best secret to a happy and enjoyable life was simple. Live passionately. Love completely. Laugh frequently. Cook always! Therefore, in closing, I simply say....
Enjoy!
